I don’t think much about it at all, but in my head, I’ve thought for a long time that video stores are a thing of the past. With the seven remainingHollywood Video stores closingin Cincinnati, that thought in my head has just been confirmed.

I can’t remember the last time I went into a Hollywood Video store or even a Blockbuster—probably when my kids were growing up and we would rent movies from time to time. What I remember most about those days is returning videos late and having to pay late fees. I hated that.

Does anybody rent movies anymore? On the internet, there are ways to download movies or so I’m told. I’ve never done this. Whenever I want to see a movie, I just go to the Downtown Public Library and pick up a DVD.
